Having trained together at the legendary American Kickboxing Academy, both competitors are well aware of what's at stake February 21st.

"I said it after my quarterfinal win, and I'll say it again, I'm looking to smash this dude," King Mo said. "Emmanuel is a tough guy, but I know where my game is at, and if I focus on me, we won't have any issues on February 21st. I'm always looking for that first round knockout, and that's it."

"This is my time. Everyone knows Mo and what he brings to the table, and he's the guy I have to get through to get to my belt," Newton said. "The belt is what I'm here for, and it doesn't matter who is in my way to get there."

For Martinez, the West Jordan native makes his Utah homecoming riding an impressive five fight win streak, including Bellator Tournament victories over top featherweights Nazareno Malegarie and Wagnney Fabiano. Already tasked with preparing for the biggest fight of his career, Martinez knows what's at stake with his hometown crowd behind him.

"To have the opportunity to fight in Salt Lake City for the Bellator Featherweight Tournament Championship is just a dream come true," Martinez said. "Utah has a great base of MMA fans, but we've never had a big MMA promotion come to Salt Lake City, so it's a great honor to be headlining Utah's first large scale MMA event."
